This is the first hire, you&#x27;ll be working alongside myself. I was technical founder of Yardsale (YC S11, acq. 2015), and lead technical advisor for HBO Silicon Valley (s3).<p>-<p>Stack: React.JS, Rails, and Redis to coordinate 1m+ synchronizations per day. Most of the UI runs in an iframe on Trello.com, which requires cross domain considerations [1].<p>-<p>There are plenty of tools to add Kanban boards to Gmail, and they&#x27;re all pretty successful. Kanban boards are better than lists for organizing workflows.<p>But Cardbox is the first to do the inverse. We add a Gmail inbox to Trello. Other tools can only support some subset of Trello features, usually poorly.<p>This 1) is harder to build (so more valuable), 2) offers better UX than a Trello knock-off, and 3) works with existing integrations, so it benefits from Trello&#x27;s significant network effects.<p>Lastly, Gmail is missing from Trello as a built-in feature but present in almost every competitor (e.g. Monday.com). They will either build or buy this, so it&#x27;s important to move fast.<p>-<p>Contact ed+hn@getcardbox.com for more info<p>[1] - Learn more about power-ups at <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;developer.atlassian.com&#x2F;cloud&#x2F;trello&#x2F;guides&#x2F;power-ups&#x2F;your-first-power-up&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;developer.atlassian.com&#x2F;cloud&#x2F;trello&#x2F;guides&#x2F;power-up...</a>

text: REMOTE<p>Our side project OpenDocument Reader - an open source mobile app to view ODF documents - turned into a profitable project. We have a few ideas on how to further improve the app but don&#x27;t have enough time to do all of it on our own since it&#x27;s still just a side project for us.<p>Possible ways you could help, sorted by priority:<p>- Build JavaScript implementations to display various file formats that are out of scope for our core library, e.g. RTF, markdown, video, ...<p>- Build sample app that uses our C++ core in a web app using WebAssembly<p>- Support development of our core library in C++ (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;opendocument-app&#x2F;OpenDocument.core" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;opendocument-app&#x2F;OpenDocument.core</a>)<p>- Help us grow the app using UI improvements, ASO, etc (only if you come up with your own tasks and can prove the ROI)
